Molly Doesn't Want to Wear Sun Lotion
By Kat Arksey

A story about sun safety for young children.

A rhyming story created to help parents explain to children why we need to wear sun lotion. We follow the story of Molly, who dislikes wearing sun lotion. She doesn't like the cold sticky feeling of lotion on her skin. Molly's mum talks to her about sun safety, sunburn and how sun lotion prevents us from burning our skin.

Talk about different ways to stay safe in the sun. Give tips of how to make the process easier (for example trying a spray lotion instead.) Give reassurance and understanding. Molly Doesn't Want to Wear Sun Lotion was written by Kat Arksey, a mum of two young children. Kat wrote the book after her son refused to wear sun lotion. She has created a number of resources to help children understand the importance of sun safety.
